Here is my cb550 project. Many pics!
« on: October 12, 2009, 06:51:24 PM »
Hey guys. I haven't officially started a project thread so I am going to post a bunch of pics right now and then try to keep you posted from this point forward. Hope you enjoy. This is the first pic. My original bike, ran very rough, but ran none the less. $400. Please look at the pics and tell me if you see anything wrong, or otherwise. This is my first bike and first build so I need all the help I can get.

Started by removing tank and pipes. Don't have a pic of the pipes after removed, but they did come with a Kerker K series exhaust. Should be pretty neat.

Removed seat and took some pictures of wiring. Noticed a green plug wire?

Took picture of front wheel so I could get started on the beat up forks.

Got a jack and got the front end and forks off. Jack was on sale at Harbor Freight for $59 plus 20%. Sweet deal.
